That's where the mad phantom dump truck driver haunts the
landscape, isn't it ?...The high plateau....nothing there but
fairly small windswept piles of barren dirt and a few faded
mobile homes clustered around an oil rig every 90 or so miles and a
string of gnarly trees marching along a river bed now and
then. Even the tumbleweeds are lonesome and few.
Yea, there are places in the USA where it's one somewhat addled
person per square mile...everything is imported to that "Mars on
Earth". [so why not import the good stuff?]
More barren..there's a huge pea gravel pit somewhere South of
Brice Canyon country with NO people per square mile or any dirt at
all...not even a lost and lonesome tumbleweed.
Amazing places to not live in. [Takes a half tank of gas just to
get home from a gas station. ]

You got it! But this is where the work was so here we are, and there
are compensatory things to like here, so here we stay, though now
retired. When we get so old we can't handle the winters anymore we
may re-think that, LOL.
